am a bit shaky and a bit sad. Rob is good. Healing up still, doctor is very content with the results, and he is allowed to do everything except heaving lifting now.

6:10 am

sprite

hi Annie :)

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I only was able to celebrate between husbands!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

why are you sad, sprite?

6:11 am

rubyfoo

and shaky???

6:11 am

Anniebrook

Oh sprite, Rob is your husband. I am glad he is doing so well. Sometimes folks call Bobby Rob since his name is Rob.

6:11 am

Anniebrook

Robert

6:11 am

stidmama

6:11 am

Anniebrook

why are you shaky and sad, sprite?

6:11 am

rubyfoo

I will have an envelope in the mail for your Bobby on Monday, Annie

6:12 am

rubyfoo

{{stidmama}}

6:12 am

Anniebrook

ruby, I will try to get him to write to you.

6:12 am

Anniebrook

((Stid))

6:12 am

sprite

shaky because of yesterday's full day of therapy group. And sad because I had posted a very sweet thing on my son's FB page, which originally was made by a group called 'single moms of autistic children' and now he is mad because he says he is not autistic. And has removed it from his page. Just because of the tiny bottom byline...

6:12 am

rubyfoo

no no, don't worry about it. It is one of my pleasures writing to him from time to time'

6:13 am

stidmama

Hey all, what new year? Rosh hoshanah?

6:13 am

sprite

hiya Stiddie!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs*

6:13 am

rubyfoo

it's nice to have two New Years

6:13 am

sprite

happy new year, Ruby. Maybe you can teach me how and we can celebrate together next year?

6:13 am

rubyfoo

sprite: teenagers are teenagers!

6:13 am

sprite

I like that, Annie. *hugs* to Bobby.

6:13 am

stidmama

Kids, sprite... They take so many innocent things the wrong way.

6:14 am

sprite

true, ruby. But this mother of a teenager feels damn hurt.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I don't really know how' my family was very secular and father was probably an atheist although we never talked about it

my son has decided to be Jewish although his father (kelley) certainly was not

6:15 am

sprite

well we have a year to figure it out... make our own combination of rites and traditions? Think about it, if it is important to you, dear.

6:15 am

stidmama

:-). Well, that is better than most people's batting average...

6:15 am

sprite

so... let's invite your son too!

6:15 am

rubyfoo

it is hard not to be hurt by our children

6:15 am

rubyfoo

you are so sweet and also ecumenical, sprite. A lot can happen in a year!!!!!

6:15 am

sprite

*hugs stiddie* Also true. Ah well. Being hurt on a shaky day isn't strange.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

he won't marry his very-long-time companion because she would insist on a Cathollic wedding

6:16 am

stidmama

So true, ruby. And sorry about shaky, sprite. Njust too much moving around?

6:17 am

rubyfoo

My son is very steady and we have a good relationship, but his "companion" is another story

6:17 am

sprite

very true, ruby. Well, let's keep it in mind. It is my firm believe that the kind of religion does not matter. It is the love that counts, and the sincerity and integrity.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I try really hard, but she is a "hard case|"

6:18 am

rubyfoo

and knowing that it's the same God for whichever eligion

6:18 am

sprite

stiddie: yes, exactly. Just started with a parttime therapy group, once a week a whole day. Very intensive for me. Too many people, too many feelings, and lots of confrontations. But I think it is worth it.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I had a lot of therapy, too, sprite, but never did group. Couldn't deal with everybody else's sh**

6:19 am

sprite

me neither, ruby. We don't talk a lot about sh**. It is a do group and not a talk group. But I still pick up what others feel, sadly.

6:20 am

rubyfoo

you are extremely sensitive, sprite, and pick up on others' problems. You focused quickly on DH's stuff when you were here

6:21 am

stidmama

I am going to try to get back to sleep. I miss you all, so glad to find friends when I wake in a panic and cant calm down easily. It really helps. Sprite, I hope it will get easier over time. I find it is hard to keep my walls up in large groups when I am out of practice, but it is easier now.

6:21 am

sprite

yes, he touched my heart, ruby, as did you. You are very beautiful people.

I wish I could be more sympathietic to him, but I am overwhelmed by "his" stuff which has landed on my head

6:23 am

rubyfoo

happily, his daughter is coming on the 26th to celebrate his birthday. She wqill surely cheer me up

6:24 am

sprite

ruby, nobody, and I repeat nobody, can judge a relationship between other people. You and Burt have grown into this through years and years, with lots of pain and joy and everything. *hugs*

6:24 am

sprite

is his birthday on the 26th?

6:24 am

rubyfoo

the 30th

6:25 am

sprite

6:34 am

suefrad625

I have a riddle for you about my health: I am swollen, so much that it hurts to walk in the mornings. my doc said it should hurt more at night, but it doesnt. It used to not be so bad in the afternoon, but not it does go away. The changes in my life: menopause after stopping birth control, I am 48, multi vitamin from GNC, and now, after this has been going on for about 3 weeks, i have added green coffee beans and raspberry Kenton extract pills. it really hurts to walk now.

6:35 am

sprite

I cannot answer that riddle. Back to the doctor and if he/she does not know, go see a specialist. This does not sound like something to wait out.

6:36 am

suefrad625

I was afraid it was high blood pressure, but I am 120/80

6:36 am

suefrad625

and have been for the last, forever

6:37 am

6:38 am

6:39 am

sprite

*grins at Annie*

6:39 am

Anniebrook

sue, you should see another doctor or ask your doctor for the name of a specialist

6:39 am

sprite

darn... and I meant to type: you are to post valid words in the CHOG, dear... sorry :D

6:40 am

suefrad625

cute story about my brother and Buddy Guy - (give me a minute to type it in) -

3:14 pm

uusue2

my brother was visiting me and wanted to see Buddy Guy play at his club, so he called to see if he was playing that night. The person who answered the phone said he didn't know, but would put Buddy Guy on the phone so my brother could ask him himself - turned out he wasn't playing, but my brother was thrilled to talk to him!

3:15 pm

uusue2

this was a good 30 years ago, around 1980

3:15 pm

torgone

That's pretty cool ..

3:16 pm

MollyL

I would tell that story to strangers if it had happened to me.

3:16 pm

uusue2

this was before cell phones, so we'd stopped at a gas station to call - he returned to the car absolutely walking on air :-)

I am almost done with grid so I'll be an ai 5/12 and ai4/5 you with a story ri4/7 w/clues.My husband was a high school dr7/40. My husband's decision to not finish high school has effected his adult life because it is hard for him to get a job. He was ax 4/10 from his last job fo 4/8 years ago and has been out of work since. I blame him for getting fi 5/18, but he said it was not his fault. He is in di4/5 need of a job. I think that it's unfa4/7 that I have to pay for everything.He's putting both of us into the po 4/5 house and he does not even give one io4/4 about it Hubby just fa4/7s around all day long playing his stupid Farmville or watching sp5/12 on the TV. Hubby doesn't realize how lucky he is to have a ro4/7 over his head. I wish I could kick him off my tu 4/8! He is such a tu 4/6! I think it would be a good id4/5 to leave him. He has ir4/5 me for the past few years. Dr 4/5s! Husband has been po4/6ing because he wants the computer. I am af 6/30 I have to give husband computer before he causes a ri 4/4. I am going to go watch "Ra 6/21s of the Lost Ark". *Po4/8*

You have to wait until the oversized link flushes off the page.

8:19 pm

gwenski

So, we need to talk it up!

8:19 pm

MollyL

9 or 10 posts should do it.

8:19 pm

gwenski

the ps word: does it end in three vowels?

8:20 pm

gwenski

Why, yes it does!

8:20 pm

MollyL

Yes

8:20 pm

gwenski

I thought I had tried every combination before I asked the question.

8:21 pm

MollyL

In the meantime, everyone remember to use the tiny url web site. There is a reason it's recommended.

Quite disappointed ENABLE does not take geomorphogeny.

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

silly enable!!

9:44 pm

stidmama

i can quite understand that, BR

9:44 pm

Minveryork

I tried fedex w/Babble too. I also think the comparative form of po 4/8 should be a word. For example, my hair was po4/8ier in the 1980s. Also, the past tense of that word should be accepted as well. They are real words

9:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

enable is the god of this game, not dr god LOL

9:46 pm

stidmama

I agree, Min.

9:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt woot

Stid, maybe we can get FWs together? How many left?

ENABLE is the archetypal exemplar of resistentialism.

good methodist girl that I am, I just know how my friend spellsit. For a non-jewish girl I have a husge collection of acceptable recipes for various jewish holidays, we celebrate each other with our families. You should hear my kids say the appropriate prayers for lighting candles. Very impressive

10:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OY!

10:23 pm

bethn

i believe they only put him in G & T because it was a small class, and he culd disrupt less people that way. He was the class clown. Very talented but not necessarily acamemically
